    I imagine, that the owner had prints vs. a digital image to start with, and then scanned it with a scanner. jmo :)

    Looks to be a pretty decent car, too bad it's doesn't have a 302 in it already.

    When I was in New Zealand the right hand drive cars have the gas and brakes in the same place as the left hand drives......gas pedal on the right and the brake on the left then the clutch......does that make sence?

    It's bad enough having to shift with your left hand on a right drive car. Imagine having the pedals reversed, which they aren't! I drove a car when I was in England and it practically scared the hell out of me! Wrong side of the road and wrong side of the car.:eek:

    Down in the US Virgin Islands, they have the same left drive cars we use here, but drive on the left. It's a throwback from when they were originally a Danish posession. Talk about screwing you up royally!!!
